Plenty are in with a shout but TATUM looks the way to go on the back of her excellent second in a big-field Fairyhouse handicap last time out. In-form top-weight Ob La Di is next on the list with Super Exceed, La Dame Blanche and Miss Nifty all in the picture too. Pearl Jewel completes the shortlist.

  1. TATUM (IRE)
